7 tips for doing business internationally
Lee’s list of 7 quick and essential tips for doing business overseas.
- It is always easier to sell in your town, state, or country than to export or sell internationally. Understand that it will always be that way.
- Don’t do it alone. Always get local “guide(s)” to work with you. This can take the form of a consultant, agent, distributor or salesforce.
- You will always feel that the customer in the international market got the better deal.
- No matter how well you think you understand the country and culture….there is always something important that you missed.
- Be humble…..be humble……be humble
- Listen before you start to sell. My first 3 trips to China consisted of meeting and listening to potential customers before opening up the discussion to sales.
- Make a concerted effort to build and nuture personal networks and relationships. Learn about the country, culture and politics.
